Abrasive Cutting Wheels

Abrasive cutting wheels are exposed to
high loads, especially during hand-held
cutting.
Only use abrasive cutting wheels that
comply with ANSI B 7.1 for hand-held
machines and are correspondingly
labeled. Note that the maximum
permissible speed of the cutting wheel
must be higher than the maximum
spindle speed listed on the wheel guard
label.
The abrasive cutting wheels that have
been developed for STIHL for use on the
TS 440 are of high quality and tailored to
the intended uses as well as the engine
specifications and performance of this
cut-off machine. Use of other wheels on
the TS 440 can be extremely dangerous
and may result in severe personal injury
or death. Do not wet cut with a
composite wheel on the TS 440, and do
not use composite wheels designed for
use on traditional, high-speed cut-off
machines; they will wear prematurely
and perform poorly when used on the
TS 440.
Transport and storage
Do not expose composite cutting
–
wheels to direct sunshine or other
thermal stresses during transport
and storage.
Avoid jolts and impacts.
–
Stack composite cutting wheels flat
–
on a level surface in the original
packaging in a dry place where the
temperature is as constant as
possible.
Do not store composite cutting
–
wheels in the vicinity of aggressive
fluids or chemicals.
Store composite cutting wheels in a
–
frost-free place.
Do not transport a cut-off machine
–
with a abrasive cutting wheel
mounted, whether composite or
diamond.
